Review on Walker 52433 Front Pipe by Olusola Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This was for a 2006 Acura TSX.

This was for a 2006 Acura TSX. The game is tight but not exact. On the catalytic converter side, the hanger is too close to the nut. This forced me to use an open end wrench to tighten the bolt. As a result, I couldn't use a torque wrench. The pipe that connects the exhaust manifold is smaller in diameter than the Acura pipe; It's probably not a problem, but it's different. For the price, it's a reasonable value. Update: After almost a year of use and a rather difficult winter, this product has proven itself. The difference in tube diameter is not significant. Acura's price was $270. It was excellent value for money. Update June 2, 2019 - The flexible part is rusted and broken similar to the Acura OEM part. So while the Acura part lasted 9 years in New Jersey conditions, the Walker part lasted 3.5 years. I will try the European brand BOSAL. BOSAL is used by Volvo. The flex part is still ok on my 2005 Volvo (14 years old).

Pros
  • Handy part
Cons
  • Good but not great
